Our Curriculum Directors gathered at Harvest 10:2 in Otsego for a retreat rooted in collaboration, reflection, and growth. Guided by Brené Brown’s "Strong Ground", they engaged in rich conversation about leading with courage, vulnerability, and empathy in uncertain times—building resilience, integrity, and genuine connection. By anchoring their leadership in shared values and purpose, they’re strengthening the foundation to create trust and navigate challenges with clarity and confidence. 🌱
